About this map

Walcott and Edson sit within a landscape shaped by high-plains topography and the vital management of water in Carbon County. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent uplands, including Monument Ridge in the northeast and the tiered elevations of Saint Marys Ridge and Saint Marys Hill. These features, alongside the Fort Steele Breaks, create a complex drainage environment where Saint Marys Cr and the Saint Marys Ditch system support the arid surroundings.

Water sources are central to this area's geography, evidenced by clustered points like Coyote Springs, Sulphur Spring, and Iron Spring. The network of Taylor Draw and Coyote Canyon suggests the natural pathways carved through Edson Ridge and Dana Ridge. This 2015 survey illustrates how traditional transport routes, such as the shared path of 30 287, navigate the high-desert breaks and ridges between localized settlements.
